This loop hike follows footpaths to the summit of Black Rock, with panoramic views, and returns on attractive woods roads.

41.41857, -74.01014

From the kiosk just beyond the parking area, proceed ahead on the unmarked Sybil's Path. This well-graded path climbs gently, parallel to the entrance road, reaching its terminus at the Mailley's Mill Bridge in 0.6 mile. Along the way, you'll pass a panoramic north-facing viewpoint on the right side of the trail....

Closure of Black Rock Forest during hunting season
<p>I presume that you are referring to Black Rock Mountain (not to Black Mountain, which is in Harriman). &nbsp;The entire Black Rock Forest is closed to hikers during hunting season, which begins on Saturday, November 16th.</p>

Black Rock hike
<p>We followed the directions to the parking area, coming from Route 9 southbound, and it worked fine.</p> <p>We enjoyed this hike - not just Black Rock, but also the reflections of the sky and the fall foliage in the reservoir.</p> <p>Some photos:&nbsp;<a href="http://agiletrekker.blogspot.com/2013/09/black-rock-mountain-black-rock-forest.html">http://agiletrekker.blogspot.com/2013/09/black-rock-mountain-black-rock-forest.html</a></p>
